Distance: 116km
Total: 291km
Day started bit slowly with muscles not being with the head and headwind. After couple hours of driving it started to rain, which I knew from the weather forecast to pass at some point. Waited about 2 hours under a big tree for the rain to pass and as it seemed to have slowed down I hit the road, only to be totally washed by couple 20 second down pours. But after the last pour, weather started to clear and after another 15 minutes it was blue skies again.
The last 30km bit on Estonian side was wonderful small road along the coastline with sandy beaches. Encountered quite few fellow cyclists on this section and had a chat with a Estonian cyclist and on another short attempt of lone Russian cycling gal - little common language again though.
On Latvian side it was pretty static cycling along the Via Baltica and truck traffic, roads near Estonian border were horrible though. Some nice sandy beaches continued on Latvian side also. And cheapest camping occurred on campsite near the beach for 3.5€.
